Analyzed persons were 105 patients reporting consecutively for the reconstructive operations in the area of abdominal aorta (66 with abdominal aortic aneurysms - AAA and 39 with the Leriche syndrome – SL) who were examined on the level o intraabdominal pressure (IAP) and respiratory efficiency with an aid of spirometry. It was proven that there is a statistically relevant difference between mean IAP levels between two analyzed groups of patients (SL 4,56±2,47 mm Hg; AAA 8,39±4,49 mm Hg; p<0,001). No correlation between the level of IAP and aneurysm diameter was found. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was found in 31,8% of patients with AAA and 10,3% with SL. Mean values of the most of spirometry indicators did not differ between patients suffering from AAA and those suffering from SL (p>0,05). It was proven that there is difference as for the Tiffeneau index, which was higher with patients suffering from the Leriche syndrome (p=0,004). It was found negative correlation between the level of IAP and seven spirometry indicators in the group of patients suffering from SL. A negative correlation has also been found between the level of IAP and only one spirometry indicator in the group of patients suffering from AAA. The part of patients qualified for surgery in the area of abdominal aorta have increased IAP levels as early as in presurgery examinations – that is 61% of patient ; s with AAA and 24% of patients with SL. Presented research results did not explain the reason of that phenomenon. Such IAP measurement results may be suggestion for extraordinary presurgery preparation with those patients.
